KeyCue - find, remember, and learn keyboard shortcuts
Did you know that the average Mac OS X application has 40 to 80 menu shortcuts?
Menu shortcuts are supposed to provide quick access to frequently used menu commands. Honestly though, how many shortcut keys do you know by heart?
KeyCue helps you to use your Mac OS X applications more effectively by displaying a concise table of all currently available menu shortcuts.
You no longer need to memorize and remember key combinations; just press the command key and KeyCue tells you what you want to know.
Over time, you will automatically remember frequently used shortcuts and start working more efficiently.
KeyCue gives you an instant overview of the overall functionality of any application, plus lets you automatically start working more efficiently by making use of menu shortcuts.
Words cannot describe the huge benefits KeyCue offers to you.
We therefore invite you to see a video review of KeyCue from MacApper.
Accessible via menu bar icon
Starting with version 6.4, KeyCue has an icon in the menu bar, which is not only a visible indicator of KeyCue's presence, but also serves as an additional way to invoke KeyCue.
This is particularly convenient when different key combinations are used to pop up separate compact tables for menu commands, system-wide hotkeys, and macros. A click on the new menu icon can now bring up a large combined table of all these shortcuts.
And best of all, it is now possible to look up shortcuts without remembering another shortcut. You can also access some of KeyCue's menu commands by right-clicking the menu bar icon.
